Question

Our hosts are currently having problems with PHP, so I’ve had to set up a static index.html page to advice visitors to our website. Can anybody please tell me what I need to put in .htaccess so that every address in the domain is redirected to the home page for now?

Thanks.

Here is the final answer, slightly amended from the one supplied below to allow images, CSS, etc to still be downloaded as that is referenced by my static page.

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|html|swf|mp3|wav)$ /error.html [NC,L]

Answer 1

put this is .htaccess file in your DocumentRoot.

I presume that path of index.html is </path/to/your/DocumentRoot>/index.html

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^ /index.html [L]
